Arita Evans, 1955 is a synonym of Tigasis Godman, [1900]

Inspection of Tigasis reveals its close relationship with Arita Evans, 1955 (type species Cobalus arita Schaus, 1902 ) ( Fig. 11–12 ). For instance, COI barcodes of the type species in these genera differ by only about 3%. Therefore, we treat Arita as a new junior subjective synonym of Tigasis .
